My previous suggestion stands of having the compiler predefine 
__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS and __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS, whether for C++11 or 
generally for C++, to make all existing stdint.h headers work as desired.  
You could predefine in the compiler, or you could predefine in 
stdint-wrap.h when it includes a system stdint.h and remove the 
conditionals in stdint-gcc.h.  (In the header might be better because then 
you can use #ifndef to avoid any conflict with a user's definition of 
those macros.)

If the libstdc++ people conclude that these definitions should be present 
for all C++ versions, not just C++11, then the conditionals in glibc's 
stdint.h can be removed at leisure (the predefines in GCC will make the 
conditionals useless but harmless).
